Making Contact

This site was created by Dr. Jennifer Tucker, Secretary and Treasurer of the Reversal Theory Society. Jenny holds a B.A in Environmental Sciences, an M.S. in Management, and a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies. She is the coauthor of Reversing Forward, and author of the booklet Introduction to Type and Project Management, part of the Introduction to Type Series from CPP, Inc. She has been a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) since 2005.

And now for a more Playful version: Jenny began life at a very young age. After two successful years of nursery school, she embarked on a 17 year adventure through the U.S. educational system to get her college degree. She then experimented with a range of different professions, including geology, public relations, and management consulting. Over time, she has come to realize that group facilitation is among her favorite activities, as it reframes her kindergarten report card feedback of “bossy” into professional feedback like “skilled at keeping groups on task.” Along her professional path, Jenny completed another nine years of education, ending with the relief that comes from being Phinally Done (Ph.D.).
